Phi-Fic Chapter 117 Chili Seeds
Chapter 117 Chili Seeds
When preparing the ox cart yesterday, Lin Chuyi put the pepper seeds and a large bag of copper coins that he had prepared in advance on the ox cart, and drove the ox cart back with the five of them, which meant that the things were safely at home.
When unloading the truck yesterday, all the things were placed in the corridor. Lin Chuyi was afraid that the seeds would get damp if left outside overnight, so he placed all the things in the utility room before going to bed.
These things had to be taken to the village head's house, so Lin Chuyi took them all out early in the morning.
When Grandpa Huang saw Lin Chuyi carrying three sacks in his hands, his eyes almost popped out. He had personally carried the sacks yesterday, so he naturally knew the weight of the sacks.
The two lighter sacks weighed several dozen kilograms each, and he couldn't even lift the heavy one all at once, which must have weighed at least a hundred kilograms.
He was really amazed to see that Miss Lin could lift several hundred kilograms so easily.
Although he was shocked, Uncle Huang did not forget his current identity. He was a servant bought by Miss Lin to do hard labor. How could he let his master do it herself?
Mr. Huang didn't care about taking care of his beloved yellow cow. He put down the things in his hands and went forward to help, "Miss, I will help you carry it."
Lin Chuyi is going to meet the village head at his home later. She has created the character of Uncle Huang as a pepper planting expert, but she doesn't have time to give him emergency training.
If he were brought to the village head now and the head asked a few more questions, Uncle Huang would definitely be exposed, so Lin Chuyi could not let Uncle Huang help her carry things no matter what.
It only took Lin Chuyi one or two seconds to think about all this. After making a decision, he immediately spoke up to stop Grandpa Huang from coming to help. He also assigned Grandpa Huang a few tasks to distract his attention.
"No need for help, no need for help, I can do it by myself. I have to go out for a while. If you are free, please help me clean up a cowshed after dinner. Otherwise, it will smell too bad if we tie the cows in the yard. Then we can harness the bullock cart. We will need the bullock cart in the afternoon."
The cow seemed to understand their conversation and knew that it was being disliked. It snorted twice at Lin Chuyi in dissatisfaction. Lin Chuyi simply chose to ignore the cow's protest.
Grandpa Huang received the task assigned by Lin Chuyi. Seeing that Lin Chuyi looked very comfortable with the task and seemed like he really didn't need any help, he agreed and went back to continue taking care of his beloved cow.
Lin Chuyi carried a few sacks out of the house and walked towards the village along a cleared path.
Several villagers who passed by Lin Chuyi would greet her with a smile when they met her on the road, and Lin Chuyi would also respond with a smile.
When those people saw the bulging sack in Lin Chuyi's hand, they did not ask what was in the sack.
Because they all knew what Lin Chuyi had been doing during the days he had been away from the village.
A few days ago, their respective clan leaders gathered them together and asked them if they wanted to participate in Lin Chuyi's pepper planting plan.
Many families in the village put their fingerprints on the document distributed by the village head. What did the village head call it? Oh, I think it was called a contract.
However, these are not the point. The point is that they know that Lin Chuyi went out to buy pepper seeds this time.
The head of the village had already told them that when Lin Chuyi came back, it would be time to distribute pepper seeds. While distributing seeds, he would also pay different amounts of rent based on the pepper planting area of each household.
Lin Chuyi carried the things and walked towards the headman's house. The things in the sack must be seeds.
Lin Chuyi is back, which means they can get their share of the money immediately, which is a real benefit.
Now in the eyes of the villagers, Lin Chuyi is not a plague god who brings disaster to his relatives, but a kind-hearted boy who gives away money.
How could they not be in a good mood when they saw Lin Chuyi giving them money early in the morning?
Lin Chuyi has been receiving enthusiasm from the villagers along the way.
Some asked her about her well-being, some invited her to their homes for dinner, and some even wanted to give her food directly.
Lin Chuyi rejected the villagers' kindness one by one with the reasons that "I have eaten" and "I can't take it". After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally arrived at the headman's house.
The gate of the village head's house was wide open. She saw from a distance that the village head was sitting on a stone bench under the osmanthus tree in the yard, smoking a pipe with a blank look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Grandpa Village Head." Lin Chuyi greeted loudly.
The village head looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person coming was Lin Chuyi, and he immediately smiled.
"Chuyi girl is back. Are those pepper seeds in your hand? Why did you bring them here by yourself? They look quite heavy. Just give me a call and I'll ask your uncle Erzhu to carry them."
As the village head spoke, he supported himself on his knees, stood up and tried to go over to help.
Lin Chuyi walked quickly into the yard and placed all the bags on the stone table next to the old man.
"You know, I'm strong, I can still carry this weight, just think of it as morning exercise, there's no need to bother Uncle Erzhu for help."
Lin Chuyi didn't blush or gasp when he spoke, he really didn't feel it was heavy.
Li Zheng secretly sighed in his heart that this girl's strength is getting stronger. After sighing, Li Zheng motioned Lin Chuyi to sit on a stone bench nearby and chat slowly.
"Forget it, I won't say anything to you, so as to avoid being annoyed and nagged by you. Sit down and rest for a while. When will you be back?"
"Last night, it was a little late and everyone was asleep, so I didn't come to disturb you."
"I know you've learned Kung Fu from your master for a few days, but you can't just take advantage of your Kung Fu skills to do whatever you want. Walking at night is very dangerous. If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret. Planting peppers is important, but a day or two won't make a difference. Your safety is the most important thing."
Upon hearing this, the village head strongly disagreed with Lin Chuyi's approach. The originally agreed time was five days. He knew that Lin Chuyi was afraid that his family would worry if he didn't come back on time. But if Lin Chuyi really had an accident because of walking at night, it would be a waste of time.
"Well, I know everything. Don't worry. I value my life the most and will not put myself in danger. I didn't come back alone this time. Didn't I tell you before that I would bring someone who is good at growing peppers to teach the villagers how to grow peppers? This time I brought back their family of four."
"My aunt specially prepared a bullock cart for me to bring my things back so that we could take it back easily. We rode the cart back and didn't suffer much on the way. If we hadn't been delayed on the road, we should have arrived home yesterday afternoon."
Lin Chuyi lied without hesitation and the head of the village believed it.
